Peter Dundas Exits Roberto Cavalli

As the season of breakups continues, the dissolution of yet another partnership was announced today: Roberto Cavalli and creative director Peter Dundas are parting ways.

Dundas has been with Cavalli just over a year and a half. His appointment was announced in March 2015, and according to a statement today, the spring 2017 collection presented in Milan in September was his last.

"I want to thank Roberto Cavalli and the Group for this valuable experience and I wish them the best in their future endeavors," Dundas said in a statement, WWD reports. "I am especially grateful to the ateliers and the teams who participated in this adventure."

Before taking the helm at Cavalli last year, Dundas was the artistic director of Emilio Pucci, where he started in 2008. This was not his first stint at Cavalli, however—he held the position of head designer from 2002 to 2005, working directly with founder Roberto Cavalli.

"On behalf of Roberto Cavalli and our shareholders, we thank Peter Dundas for his contribution to the brand, and we wish him well for his future," the label's CEO, Gian Giacomo Ferraris, stated. "As Roberto Cavalli goes through a period of transformation, the design team will carry on and the appointment of a new creative director will be made in due course."
